As always I only own my oc, please leave me a comment and let me know how I'm doing.

Both too lazy to cook we headed to the grill for something to eat. Thankful Damon drove because everything including my mind still felt like jello, "You know I ended up ruining that blanket anyway." I said "May not have burned it down but I'm like a thousand percent sure I bled on it."

I watched a smile creep across his face, "Yeah I'd say that was my fault but you did ask for it." I turned to him and stuck my tongue out. "Don't threaten me with a good time." he laughed, I rolled my eyes.

When we got to the grill it was pretty quiet, "The football game. I forgot Elena invited me." I said slapping my hand against my head.

"Did you wanna go?" He asked, "I'd never turn down a chance to torment my brother."

I looked at my phone, the game started in an hour, the pep rally would still be going on "You don't mind?"

"Nope." we turned and walked back to the car.

Once we got to the school, the pep rally was still in full swing, "I see Jeremy, I'll be right back." I walked towards the pick-up truck where Jeremy was drinking with some friends. "You know if Elena catches you you're going to get an earful."

"Whatever." He replied, staring off into the crowd. I followed his eyeline and spotted what he was looking at, Vikki and Tyler, "Dude you gotta just let that go, she's totally not worth all this moping." I grabbed the bottle from Jeremy and took a swig and handed it back. About that time I saw Tyler walking towards us and Jeremy jumped out of the truck bed. "JEREMY DON'T!" I yelled. The guys started fighting, Tyler pushed Jeremy to the ground and broke the bottle, Stefan ran up to help. Jeremy got up grabbing the broken bottle and went to swing for Tyler, missing and cutting Stefan.

"What the fuck Tyler," I said just as I shoved him. He grabbed my arm hard and yanked me towards him, through gritted teeth he said, "Don't fucking touch me, your little burn out brother is going to get what's coming to him." He shoved me to the ground, before I could even try to get up, Damon was right next to me hand out. When I was back on my feet he started towards Tyler.

"Damon no." I said I took all I had to keep him from pulling away, there was no way he was using his full strength. "Let's just go, please."

"Yeah, go meet me by the car, I need to find Stefan," he said.

Damon's pov

I found Stefan looking angry, "Nice save little brother. Careful, don't want Elena asking more questions then you're willing to answer." I said.

"As opposed to you jumping in ready to kill a kid in front of everyone, don't you think that would raise a few questions with Alexis?" He replied.

"I've literally been answering questions for Alexis all day, she knows everything." I sneered, if he wants to keep secrets that's his business.

"Oh yeah Damon, does she know why you're really here? Does she know about Kathrine?"

"How do you know about Kathrine?" I was shocked I hadn't breathed a word of my plan to anyone and to be honest I didn't even know if I was going to follow it anymore.

"Emily told me about the tomb before she left, after you disappeared. I put two and two together, Alexis isn't just a play thing Damon. If you think she is then I was wrong about you having any humanity left."

"I never said she was, so butt out Stefan. Worry about what you're going to do when Elena finds out about you." I walked towards the car only to find Alexis missing.

Alexis's pov

Part of me wishes I'd just stayed by the car, been blissfully ignorant but it was cold and the car was locked. Once I heard Damon and Stefan arguing and I was pretty much called a placeholder, my heart broke. I thought about going to find Elena but that would mean letting Stefan know I heard them also how would I explain the situation to her when she thinks Kathrine is dead. Glad I had the foresight to grab my bag when we got to the game, I started walking home. Joint in my hand not caring if Sheriff Forbes walked right up to me, it was the only thing keeping me from crying. I stopped at a park close to my house and decided to sit on the swings and calm down before I got home.

Damon's pov

I looked everywhere for Alexis before going back to Stefan, I slammed him up against the wall, "Where is Alexis?" He pushed me off. "I don't know." he said. I could tell he was lying so I grabbed him again, "She was supposed to meet me at the car, she's not there, she's not with Elena. What do you know?"

He pulled my hands off his shirt, "She walked up when we're arguing, heard about Kathrine and took off."

"What the hell Stefan!" I was so mad I wanted to rip his heart out right where he stood. Just then a voice came from around the corner, "SALVATORE! Let's go, we got a game to play."

I charged at the man and ripped his throat out and he crumpled to the ground. "Have fun cleaning that up, I've got another mess to take care of." I wiped the blood from my chin and smeared it on his face, "See you later little brother."

Alexis's pov

I was cold, I needed to go home, I needed to get there while everyone else was gone so I could crawl into my bed without questions. I got off the swings and finished the walk home, the only light on was the porch. I walked in and walked to the kitchen, grabbing one of the many pints of ice cream, thank you Jenna, and a spoon, I took it up to my room. I turned on my tv not really watching, just moping and eating. I pulled out the spell book and found a candle and decided to try again. It took less than a minute and the candle was lit and sitting in a holder next to my bed. I did it three more times each faster than the last. I blew out the candles and decided I was going to try and get some sleep. I went into the bathroom to get ready, when I came out there was Damon sitting on the edge of my bed. "Get out." I said pointing towards my now open window.

"Can I explain?" He stood up and walked towards me.

I put my hands up, "Don't, I'm truly not in the mood to be lied to again." I walked past him and sat on my bed, pulling my knees to my chest and said "Really, you need to go."

Damon walked closer and put his hand on my shoulder, "Please, I swear only the truth."

I looked at him, his face blank, he was close enough I could just barely smell him but it was enough I broke, "Ya know, you can't just come in here smelling like actual heaven with your stupid face and expect me to just be ok with the fact you lied. You looked me right in the eye and lied."

"My face isn't stupid," he said, I glared at him, "right not the point, I can explain, please,"

"You have two minutes." still sitting curled up, I shrugged his hand off my shoulder.

"The whole story is going to take longer than two minutes to tell but the gist is Kathrine was the love of my life over a century and a half ago, she's been locked in a tomb under the old Fells church since the night me and Stefan turned. That's originally why I came back because I would have the opportunity to free her, but I met you and freeing Kathrine became more about repaying a debt then rekindling love." He looked at me trying to gauge my reaction to what he said.

I stared back at him, "You want me to believe that a couple days is going to trump a hundred plus years?"

"That's the truth Alexis, I don't know what else to tell you." He sat down on the bed in front of me and put his hand on my knee. "This, you and I isn't something I was planning on not even in my wildest imagination, you just came out of left field."

"Damon." my voice almost a whisper, "I just- I can't." I couldn't even find the words I wanted to be mad but that wasn't the emotion I was feeling "I need a couple days to think."

Damon shook his head and stood up, "I understand." He said and was gone before I could blink.

Damon's pov

I drove back to the boarding house defeated, I mean what did I think she was going to say. My intention was to drink all of the bourbon I could find and pass out in a chair. When I walked in I was greeted by the lifeless body of Zach.
